NANO Crunch

I'm at a little over 30,000 now, and I can see the homestretch. With eight days left the prospect of another 20,000 words seems a lot less daunting than getting to 30k did a week ago.

Funny how that happens.

I'm nowhere near the end, which is kind of scary and means editing is going to be a biatch -- but hey, can't worry about that now. Must push on.

Mom is here but being awesome about not minding my scramble for words. We've decided to ditch cooking Turkey Day dinner in favor of finding some place open that will cook for us. Yeah, mom! Plus I'll be home for Xmas and able to stuff my face full of good home cooking in the best place to do it: home!

"There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."
